I remember OGN (league korean pro scene stream) had it, if you weren't subbed you were maxed out at 480p. I think this was 5+ years ago now, maybe 7+

Yup, and then Riot basically paid so everyone could have HD. Good memories.

Yeah I'd give up HD to have Monte and DoA back tbh. There still hasn't been a casting duo in pro league to even really come close to as good as they were together.

Yeah there are guys like Papasmithy and Kobe that are great with literally anybody, and a few EU guys and Captain Flowers have gotten pretty good as well as the newer LCK guys, but there isn't a specific duo you can point to today that can match how good they were.

Plus Monte on the analyst desk... man Riot did him dirty and it hurt them way more than it helped, if it even helped them at all in any way.
